Bastion now available!

The castle is besieged! Mountain giants trample the fields, fire riders burn the surrounding settlements, and the ice dragon has nested on top of the citadel tower. Only a squad of stubborn heroes stands between the enemies and ultimate victory.

Originally released in Polish in 2016, Z-Man games has now brought Bastion to the United States, and it’s available now.

Bastion is a co-operative board game of resource managment, defense construction, and magic. Gain new abilities, build powerful artifacts, and perform magic rituals to learn spells by defeating enemies.

Defend the city with your concerted efforts or fall under the pressure of the attacking hordes. Buy Bastion for a highly customizable and replayable co-operative siege defense game, with several scenarios and difficulty settings – it even has a solo mode!

Restoration Games announces Dinosaur Tea Party

Based on 70s deduction game Whosit, Rob Daviau, JR Honeycutt, and Justin D. Jacobson over at Restoration Games have re-themed the game to, well…

Featuring an absurd sense of humor (the game is set in Dinoton Abbey), the conceit is that you’re at a tea party where no one can remember anyone’s name, dinosaurs of course not famed for their incredible memory skills. But rather than commit an embarassing faux pas and get their name wrong, players must deduce who they’re talking to by asking questions about the other characters.

Dinosaur Tea Party is due later this year. Restoration Games has been knocking it out of the park lately with the critically acclaimed Downforce and its expansion Danger Circuit, and its game of Renaissance era bribery and cutthroat, Indulgence

Mottainai was a wild success, and so Wutai Mountain is here. An expansion to the game of monastic minimalism brings more complex and satisfying gameplay to the game of complication and satisfaction. Get Wutai Mountain from the KS page, and Mottainai itself is available in our store.

Inspired by a particularly brutal playthrough of Darkest Dungeon, Unbroken is a solo game for one adventurer trying to make it through a dungeon unbroken by its challenges. How far can you push? Tense, unforgiving, and fair, Unbrokenlooks like a must-get for solo gamers.
